There’s nothing like an treasure hunt over the Easter holidays, especially on Easter Morning. Here’s one from the Easter Bunny, with eight rhyming clues. If you’ve got some small chocolates such as chocolate coins, mini eggs, or even just some small wrapped sweets, we suggest you make it eggstra exciting by putting one with each clue. (Sorry, couldn’t resist the pun!) Or, if you’re looking for a healthy, sugar-free option, you could try sticks of carrot – wrapped of course – you don’t want bits of fluff and dust sticking to them!
What the “treasure” is at the end of the hunt isn’t specified in our clues, so it’s up to you. Easter eggs or other sweets are obviously the most popular, but if you’re looking for other ideas, you could always try Easter crackers or cupcakes or any other treat you think your children might like. If you’ve got a printer, you could always add our Good Egg Award from the Easter Bunny for the winner, too.
What You Need:
A printer for the clues of course, and some scissors to cut them out. This is an indoor game and we have tried to make sure that the clues only include objects (such as a bag or a chair) that exist in any house. You’ll also need some “treasure” to leave with the last clue.

If you want just the words…
If you’d prefer to avoid printing images, for example if you’re trying to save the colour ink in your printer, the text of our clues is below. You can highlight, copy and print it in black and white.
Hoppity hop!
Let’s go, let’s begin…
Look for a cupboard,
The first clue’s within.
Bouncity bounce!
You’re well on your way,
The next clue is near
A thing you can spray.
Skipity skip!
You’re playing for keeps,
The next clue is hidden
Where somebody sleeps.
Jumpity jump!
Then follow this clue,
You’ll find what you seek
Near something that’s blue.
Quickity quick!
Don’t dawdle or lag,
The next clue is hiding
In some sort of bag.
Floppity flop!
If you’re tired, go to bed!
But you’ll miss the next clue
Which is near something red.
Springity spring!
As high as a hare!
The last clue is waiting
Not far from a chair.
Jump up for joy,
You’ve got to the end!
The treasure is yours,
Well done my dear friend.
